What's special

East Woodlawn is moving... and this one sits right in the middle of it. With a little sweat equity, the potential is endless. 3 beds, 1 bath... with plumbing already in place for an additional full bathroom in the basement-built-in upside from day one. Solid brick bungalow on a quiet, tree-lined block. Major updates already handled: new plumbing (2024), new electrical (2024), new roof and gutters (2024), furnace (2024), and water heater (2024)... plus a clean pantry addition. The location does the heavy lifting... just minutes from the University of Chicago, Lab School, UChicago Charter, and the upcoming Obama Presidential Library. Jackson Park Golf Course, the lakefront, downtown, and expressways are all within reach. There's also a neighborhood park nearby... something you don't always get in the city. If you've been waiting for a property in this neighborhood with real upside... this is it.
